Abstract:

Cleft lip is one of the common congenital deformities in the craniofacial region, often accompanied by va-rying degrees of nasal deformity. Non-surgical methods for nasal cartilage correction play a positive role in maintaining surgical outcomes. The combination of non-surgical and surgical treatments is a successful treatment model that improves not only nasal deformities but also the effectiveness and stability of surgical treatment. This review focuses on summari-zing the mechanisms, clinical application, and basic science of non-surgical nasal cartilage correction methods for cleft lip nasal deformity.

Key words: cleft lip nasal deformity, non-surgical correction, team approach, preoperative orthopedics, nasal retainer
